12.8 Deleting or Unsharing a BCC-Enabled Shared NSS Pool Resource

You might need to unshare a pool resource if you decide not to cluster the pool. You might decide to delete an NSS pool if the data stored on it is no longer needed.

Consider the following guidelines when planning to delete or unshare a BCC-enabled pool resource:

All resource configuration must happen from the master node. On the Cluster Options page for iManager, connect to the Cluster object, not to Cluster Node objects. On the Storage > Pools page for iManager, connect to the master node. Run NSSMU only on the master node.

You must disable BCC for a shared NSS pool before you delete it or unshare it. This allows the pool to be removed from the list of resources kept by the peer clusters.

Make sure to offline the cluster resource before attempting to delete either the cluster resource or the clustered pool. For example, if you want to unshare a pool, offline the cluster resource for the pool before you mark the pool or the device as Not Shareable for Clustering, then you can delete the eDirectory object for the cluster resource.

WARNING:If you attempt to delete a cluster resource without first offlining it, deletion errors occur, and the data associated with the clustered pool is not recoverable.

To delete or unshare a BCC-enabled shared NSS pool resource:

In iManager, select Clusters > Cluster Options, then select the Cluster object where the shared NSS pool resource is currently active.

If the resource is on a non-master node in the cluster, migrate it to the master node by selecting the resource, then clicking Migrate and specifying the master node.

Wait for Identity Manager to synchronize the change to all peer clusters before continuing. You can check the other peer clusters to make sure that the cluster resource you BCC-disabled no longer appears in their list of resources.
